| Abstract | Striatal neurons were cultured from the fetal mouse brain and maintained in serum-free medium for 14-21 days in vitro (DIV). Pretreatment of the culture dishes successively with a polycation followed by fetal calf serum resulted in rapid neuron attachment and neurite proliferation. After 9-10 DIV, electron microscope observations revealed the presence of vesicles in axon terminals forming mature synapses with axons and perikarya of adjacent neurons and in varicosities along extended axons. Synapsin I, a synaptic vesicle-specific protein, was present only in neuronal perikarya after 3 DIV, in perikarya and in varicosities along extended axons after 6 DIV, and in varicosities and contact points between axon terminals and adjacent axons or perikarya after 11-14 DIV. Neurotransmitter-stimulated intracellular formation of cAMP decreased markedly during neuronal differentiation. Inositol phosphate formation in response to neurotransmitters, however, increased significantly throughout the period of striatal neuronal development. K+ (56 mM) depolarization resulted in a 2-fold increase in endogenous gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) release from striatal neurons, 50% of which was Ca2+-dependent, between 3 and 11 DIV. Between 11 and 14 DIV, subsequent to synapse formation (as revealed by electron microscope observations), GABA release evoked by 56 mM K+ increased up to 5-fold, 75% of which was Ca2+-dependent. It appears that the complete differentiation of striatal neurons in serum-free medium may provide a suitable model for the study of the physiological and regulatory mechanisms involved in nerve cell development. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
